(KLZA)--The Nemaha Natural Resources District Board took no action on a request to help pay for a stream gage on Muddy Creek east of Falls City. 

The consensus of the Board was the gage would not provide enough benefit to the District to justify the cost. 

The Nemaha NRD contribution would have been $4,500 for installation, but it would require $5-thousand annually for maintenance.  

Other local entities in Richardson County could still decide to move forward on the project.
